It is the season for cherry blossoms to bloom again. On Sundays, the streets are full of people who set out to admire cherry blossoms. People change into festive costumes. Some bring wives and children, while others gather together with good friends in groups to go to Ueno or the outskirts of Tokyo to enjoy the blooming cherry blossoms.

There are so many people who appeared in Ueno on Sunday. Even Ai Fei, who lives one street from Ueno Garden, can't find a suitable and quiet place to sit down. Are there so many people in Tokyo? He is always wondering, or are these people coming out at the same time?

"This is the case with the Advertising Department for the time being. On Saturday last week, I received a call from Osaka. Gongde Club hopes to listen to the opinions from Tokyo on the sale of the new issue of the magazine."

"Is there any problem with them?"

"Hi Yi! Jiang Shangjun didn't say it carefully on the phone, but probably said that he hoped to get more shares. The Kansai area is also the largest sales target of our company in the country. So, I and my colleagues have studied it and wanted to report to the President for approval. Can you be appropriately tilted?"

“What about the specific number?”

“Add 15% share on the existing basis.”

"That is, add 90,000 copies? Are you planning to increase the number of printings like this, or are you going to split it out in other areas?"

"Only spend a portion of the printing and other regions to supplement it."

"I understand." Ai Fei nodded: "Let this be put aside for the time being. I'll tell him again when Jiang Shangjun comes to Tokyo."

"Hi!"

"Kato, how is the work going? I saw the content of the newly published first issue of April, adding Naosuke's "Three Kingdoms" and Oi Kazuho's "Angel" with great style and story. Thank you for your hard work."

"Hi Yi! This is my duty." Kato said, "As the president said, the launch of these two new works not only gives readers more choices, but also provides more authors with a reference and imitation. In fact, there are many authors, such as Momotokun's "Seshomaru", which does not even have a suitable page for his works to be published!"

Ai Fei was stunned for a moment: "What, isn't the layout enough?"

"Hi Yi! The number of pages of the magazines released in each issue of "jump" is about 70 pages, but there are many works, such as the president's "Naughter", "Dragon Ball", "Crayon Shin-chief", and Sakai's "Dragon Cat" all occupy a lot of space..."

Ai Fei interrupted him: "Do you... have any solutions to these problems? Or can I temporarily remove my work?"

"Ah, this is absolutely not possible!" Kato Masahiro stopped him indifferently, and then stood up as if he was speechless: "I'm sorry, I'm rude."

"You sit down. We're discussing the issue now, don't be so nervous. Keep up with your opinion."

"Hi Yi!" Kato Makii sat down again: "Mr. President, so far, your three works and Sakai's works have largely supported the sales guarantee of magazines. Although there has been no specific research, many readers' letters provide ideas and sources of story for your works and Sakai's works. If the serialization of your story is stopped, I think many readers will give up on our magazines."

Upon hearing this news, Ai Fei was displeased and worried: "How can this be done? Does the sales and distribution of a magazine depend on several of my works to support it? This is absolutely not possible!"

Everyone didn't know why he got angry, and they were a little stunned: "I once said that "jump School Children's Animation Club" must not be the kind of place that only serves one or several comic authors. More authors should be brought into the camp and let readers get used to accepting different styles from different authors! Why... why is it still supported by a limited number of works? What's going on?"

"Mr. President, I have explained in my report to you that the first is that some authors have not created works that suit readers' tastes. Second, because serialized comics, including several of your works, have always been highly sought after by readers, so they cannot ignore their opinions?"

"Then..." Hearing Kato's previous considerations about readers, even though Ai Fei was dissatisfied, he had to suppress it: "Although this is the case, it can't be continued like this! Who of you has better suggestions? You can say it now? Touyujun, what about your opinion?"

After being personally ordered by him, Nyu Ankang could no longer stop talking: "I think that in the few issues of magazines that will be released in the future, we can reduce the publication of some old comic content and publish some brand new content. Let's take a look at the readers' reactions for the time being before considering it."

"It seems that's the only one. Sakai Jun, do you have any opinions?"

"Hi Yi! I agree with Nyujun's opinion."

Ai Fei scratched his head in distress: "Niaoyujun, I told you that for some qualified and promising authors, you should help as much as possible! Don't always reject the manuscript. Our resources are limited now and you cannot tolerate this."

"Okay, I get it."

"That's it... Oh, there's another thing. It's the season for cherry blossoms to bloom recently. I want to find a suitable time to give you a day off, go to Ueno and other areas to enjoy the cherry blossoms, arrange them in each department, and stagger the time. Then hand over the arrangements of your own department to Arimiya."

"If I say this, I can visit you? It won't cause trouble for you, right?...Okay, then, I will go to your office in a while, that's it, goodbye." Putting down the phone, Ai Fei looked at Yumura Jingzi: "I'm sorry, what were you saying just now?"

"Are you sure you won't go with us?" Yumiya Jingzi looked at him with a little disappointed, and her mouth was about to pout.

"I do have something to do." Ai Fei smiled childishly: "In fact, more often, when I stand at the door of my house, I can see the blooming cherry blossoms, so I don't have to... Oh, I forgot about the serious business." He took out two bills of 10,000 yen denomination from his pocket and handed them over: "Buy some gifts or food for my colleagues."

Yumiya was not polite, so she took it and raised it on her forehead: "Then, I'll pay my respects."

"I wish you all a happy holiday! Hey! That's it. I have to go out. Yugong, go to the safe in the rest room to get me 600,000 cash."

"Do you want such a large amount of cash?"

"Yes, Dad is going to have a birthday, so he has to buy some gifts, right? Moreover, my watch is broken, so I have to buy one."

"Hi!"

After parking the car at the door of Takashimaya Department Store, Ai Fei walked into the hall with the surprised eyes of customers and gatekeepers. There was a doorman in charge of opening the door to remind him that he could not park here, but when he saw the dark and shiny Mercedes-Benz body, his steps hesitated for a moment. Ai Fei didn't even have the interest to look at him and walked straight into the elevator.

Ai Fei walked back and forth several times on the watch counter on the second floor and knocked on the counter with his hands: "Hey?"

"Hi Yi!" The saleswoman in the same neutral outfit trotted up and greeted him: "Welcome."

"Take this to me..." Ai Fei pointed to the Swiss Laurenkos watch placed on the counter.

"Is this the case?"

"No, the piece next to it is the piece with a calendar."

"Hi Yi!" The waiter took out the watch, Ai Fei took it, put it on his wrist, and felt it. The pure steel strap and stainless steel case were attached to the skin, so cool and comfortable. He put it in his ear and listened to it. The rhythmic sound of ticking was full of dynamic: "I want it."

"Hi Yi! Thank you very much for your patronage."

Ai Fei pointed with his hand again: "Show me the Lu Tang card."

"Thank you for your blessing, I can get off work early today!" The waiter took out the second watch. Unlike the Laurenkos he just saw, Narutang is a Dutch watch, which is completely high-end. Even the Roman numerals representing time on the dial are pure gold! Of course, the price is also very expensive. In 1951, such a watch cost 250,000 yen!

He took it over and looked at it carefully, took out an envelope from his pocket, took out 15 pieces, and handed the rest to the sales girl: "I want this watch too!"

"Thank you so much! I hope you will come again next time." The salesperson smiled sincerely and bowed.

Ai Fei nodded and walked out of the department store with the packaging box.
Chapter completed!
